(Firethorn Press Jan. 8, 2014)
In this sequel to Tender Branches, the community of Paco Rodriquez Middle School moves forward after being hurled back into the Stone Ages by some sort of near-global event. A core group remains on the campus, farming the fields, raising goats and the ever-present chickens. The old world becomes a hurtful memory and the new life after is uncertain. Cherished friends pass away and new souls appear. Faith is found and lost again. While the constant issues of security become muddied with the violence of revenge, what used to be simple tenets of decency are challenged and discarded by some, championed by others. Seth, Briley, and Jumbo, once such tender branches, blossom into their destinies. New threats surface. Abandonment leaves marks and joyful reunions ease that pain. A decade passes. Will Paco Rod fade into the dim night of legend as the community moves on?
